The decision was a controversial one as Cavill’s Geralt is loved by audiences and the decision to switch the main character 4 seasons in is never an easy one.

With its dark fantasy world, morally complex characters, and intricate storytelling, the books were adapted into The Witcher TV series, but not every storyline from the source material made it to the screen. The decision to omit certain storylines likely stemmed from a variety of factors. The showrunners faced the challenge of condensing a vast and rich literary universe into a coherent television narrative.

The Witcher is a 2019 show based on a series of fantasy novels by Andrej Sapkowski and various video games of the same name.

One subplot in The Witcher season 3 flips a House of the Dragon story on its head - with the same actor involved - and creates a challenge for the Game of Thrones prequel going forward. The Witcher has been compared to Game of Thrones since the beginning, but always talked of as a potential replacement, the “next Game of Thrones.” Now that show actually exists within the same world thanks to House of the Dragon, meaning even more direct comparisons to talk up between the two ongoing, epic fantasy shows.

Yennefer of Vengerberg, a young woman recruited to become a sorceress, is a love interest for Geralt of Rivia and protector and teacher of Ciri of Cintra. With Ciri constantly getting into trouble, Yennefer has needed to learn how to adjust her approach to keep Ciri safe.

Netflix’s The Witcher has made various changes to Andrzej Sapkowski’s books, many of these very controversial, especially those made to Yennefer’s story in season 2. Yennefer became the most divisive character in The Witcher season 2, so season 3 had a lot of fixing to do, and while it didn’t fully succeed, it definitely gave the sorceress a much better and fitting story.

]]> Sat, 08 Jul 2023 18:10:16 GMT https://screenrant.com/what-happens-to-yennefer-after-the-witcher-season-3/ The Witcher season 3 gave Jaskier (Joey Batey) a bigger chance to shine, and even gave him a love interest, which raised the question about his sexual orientation in the books and games. Netflix’s The Witcher didn’t waste time in introducing Jaskier, the bard who becomes a close friend of Geralt of Rivia, and he quickly won over the hearts of the audience. Jaskier became a viral sensation with the song “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” and he was brought back in The Witcher season 2 and 3, and he had a bigger role in the latter, joining his old friend Geralt and Ciri in a couple of adventures.

]]> Sat, 08 Jul 2023 16:50:16 GMT https://screenrant.com/is-jaskier-bisexual-in-the-witcher-books-games/ The Witcher season 3 continues the stories of Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Ciri, as half the Continent is going after the latter. Among them is The White Flame, whose motivations to go after Ciri became clearer in The Witcher season 3. After the controversial events of The Witcher season 2, season 3 finally sees Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri together, doing their best to stay safe as Ciri is being hunted by various groups due to her Elder blood, but that won’t last for long. Their biggest threat is a lot closer than they expected, and the one pulling the strings is none other than Emhyr var Emreis a.k.a. The White Flame (Bart Edwards).

]]> Fri, 07 Jul 2023 18:48:31 GMT https://screenrant.com/witcher-duny-emhyr-white-flame-evil-kill-pavetta/ The Witcher season 1's non-linear timeline received complaints upon release, though subsequent issues surrounding seasons 2 and especially 3 make the first season's problems pale in comparison. Since The Witcher began in 2019, the show has had somewhat of a tumultuous run. While being fairly well-received by critics, the show received criticisms primarily from die-hard fans of Andrzej Sapkowski's original novels.

]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2023 19:41:46 GMT https://screenrant.com/what-happens-to-ciri-after-the-witcher-season-3/ The Witcher season 3 hits another snag as its viewership declines compared to season 2. Based on the book series by Andrzej Sapkowski, Netflix's fantasy adaptation follows the magically-enhanced monster, Geralt of Rivia, and his adventures throughout the Continent alongside the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg, Princess Ciri, and the jovial bard Jaskier. Long before the first five episodes of season 3 were released on June 29, Henry Cavill made the shocking announcement he would be leaving the show and replaced by Liam Hemsworth starting with season 4.

]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2023 18:31:15 GMT https://screenrant.com/witcher-season-3-viewership-audience-decline-season-2-comparison/ Warning: Spoilers for The Witcher season 3, part 1!Yennefer of Vengerberg has her powers back in The Witcher season 3, and while she has a much better story this season, she’s still suffering from the controversial changes she went through in season 2. After a couple of controversies in its second season, Netflix’s The Witcher is back with a third season, which will be a turning point for the series. The Witcher season 3 is Henry Cavill’s last as Geralt of Rivia, with Liam Hemsworth taking over in season 4, but in terms of narrative, season 3 is also changing the course of Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer’s stories.

]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2023 19:41:14 GMT https://screenrant.com/the-witcher-season-3-yennefer-book-changes-bad/ The Witcher season 3 part 2 trailer shows Geralt preparing for a bloody battle. Released June 29 on Netflix, the first five episodes of The Witcher season 3 finds the many monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent competing to capture Ciri while Geralt and Yennefer do everything they can to protect their newly-reunited family. The second volume, which releases later this month, will serve as Henry Cavill's final episodes as Geralt before he is replaced by Liam Hemsworth for season 4.

]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2023 19:19:49 GMT https://screenrant.com/the-witcher-season-3-part-2-trailer-henry-cavill/ Netflix's latest marketing tactic for The Witcher season 3 suggests even the streamer isn't that confident about replacing Henry Cavill with Liam Hemsworth. The Witcher is Netflix's adaptation of the fantasy novel series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski, which later became a hugely popular video game franchise. Henry Cavill has played the lead role of Geralt of Rivia since The Witcher TV show debuted in 2019 and was a noted fan of the property before signing on. While there may have been fan skepticism about his casting initially, Cavill has proven immensely popular in the part.

]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2023 18:10:16 GMT https://screenrant.com/the-witcher-henry-cavill-liam-hemsworth-geralt-recast-problem/ The Witcher costars Therica Wilson Read and MyAnna Buring shared glowing words about Henry Cavill's performance in the show during a recent interview. The Netflix series recently entered the first half of its third season, which marks Cavill's last filling the main role of Geralt. Both Therica Wilson Read and MyAnna Buring play the role of sorceresses in The Witcher, with Buring acting as Tissaia de Vries, a powerful Brotherhood of Sorcerers member and rectoress of the magical academy Aretuza who recruits Read's character Sabrina Glevissig to the institution.

]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2023 14:31:57 GMT https://screenrant.com/the-witcher-season-3-henry-cavill-geralt-performance/ Hugh Skinner, who plays Prince Radovid in The Witcher series, has given fans a glimpse of what they can expect from his character and how his narrative could tie in with the game franchise. Netflix's series is the latest piece of media to take inspiration from a book series by Andrzej Sapkowski - previously they were the catalyst for The Witcher video game series, which is set after the events of the novels. The Witcher's third season has introduced new cast members like Fleabag's Hugh Skinner alongside series staples like Henry Cavill and Wanderlust's Anya Chalotra.

]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2023 13:39:10 GMT https://screenrant.com/the-witcher-season-3-hugh-skinner-radovid-games/ The Witcher season 3 brought back one of season 1’s most viral moments: Geralt of Rivia in a bathtub, but this time, it arrived with a genius Yennefer twist. Netflix’s The Witcher season 3 is being treated as a big event, not just due to this season’s story but because it’s Henry Cavill’s final season as the title witcher, Geralt of Rivia. Liam Hemsworth will take over as Geralt in The Witcher season 4 and beyond (if the series is renewed for more), so season 3 seized Cavill’s talent and presence as much as it could.

]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2023 20:40:16 GMT https://screenrant.com/the-witcher-season-3-geralt-bathtub-meme-yennefer/ Netflix shakes up their marketing for The Witcher season 3, as the streaming service goes to great lengths to remind everybody that Henry Cavill is still portraying lead hero Geralt of Rivia in the newest episodes. Cavill has portrayed the monster-hunting protagonist of Andrzej Sapkowski's series of fantasy novels since making his on-screen debut in late 2019. Despite his interest in the source material and strong fan support, Cavill is set to exit the series following season 3, with Liam Hemsworth confirmed to take over the role for season 4 and beyond.

]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2023 16:38:58 GMT https://screenrant.com/the-witcher-season-3-netflix-marketing-henry-cavill/ The Witcher season 3, part 1 just released on Netflix and has the mage stronghold of Aretuza as part of its main focus. When Geralt (played by Henry Cavill for a final season) and Yennefer need to hide Ciri from the various forces after her, they return to the Brotherhood despite knowing someone there is an enemy. Thankfully, they can count on an alliance with Tissaia (MyAnna Buring) even if she and Yennefer don't always see eye to eye.

]]> Mon, 03 Jul 2023 21:12:10 GMT https://screenrant.com/the-witcher-season-3-myanna-buring-therica-wilson-read-interview/ The Witcher season 3, part 1 spends more time in the kingdom of Redania, where spymaster Sigismund Dijkstra (Graham McTavish) and court mage Philippa Eilhart (Cassie Clare) plot how to maintain their power in the North when faced with Nilfgaard's incoming onslaught. The popular Netflix series also introduces another member of their entourage in the recent batch of episodes: King Vizimir's seemingly clueless brother, Radovid (played by Hugh Skinner). Fans of the beloved games and Andrzej Sapkowski's stories are very familiar with the character, but the latest iteration is far different than expected.

]]> Mon, 03 Jul 2023 19:17:09 GMT https://screenrant.com/how-powerful-vilgefortz-is-the-witcher-show/ The Witcher season 3, part 1 has already made a splash on Netflix series, given that it marks the end of Henry Cavill's run as Geralt of Rivia. The popular fantasy series is inspired by Andrzej Sapkowski's stories, although several elements of the Netflix adaptation can be found in the now-classic videogame The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Much like the game, Geralt may be the titular character, but Yennefer (played by Anya Chalotra) and Ciri (Freya Allan) are equally important to the story. Furthermore, the bard Jaskier (Joey Batey) joins them on several adventures as Geralt's best friend.

While it has long had its own popular books and games, The Witcher TV show has had to live in the shadow of Game of Thrones ever since it was announced. Arriving on Netflix just a few months after Game of Thrones' ending, it was one of many fantasy shows aiming to take its crown and become 'the next Game of Thrones'.

The Witcher season 3's lesser episode count certainly drew the eyes of viewers, considering both prior outings consisted of eight episodes each. However, there is a specific reason as to why The Witcher season 3 only has five episodes and links to the release changes Netflix have been toying with in recent years concerning their flagpole franchises like Stranger Things, Better Call Saul, and now The Witcher.

The Witcher is a fantasy series created by Netflix and based on the 2007 video game and the book series by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. The story follows three main characters with intertwining stories: Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Princess Ciri.

]]> Sun, 02 Jul 2023 17:30:18 GMT https://screenrant.com/the-witcher-season-3-rotten-tomatoes-audience-score-explained/ The Witcher is packed with action, monsters, betrayals, and battles, but it also has time for lighter moments, most of them thanks to Jaskier and his songs, which go from ballads to more upbeat and catchy tunes. Netflix’s The Witcher hasn’t been safe from criticism, especially when it comes to the changes it has made to the source material, but it continues to be generally well-received by the audience. Henry Cavill’s portrayal as Geralt is a big part of The Witcher’s success, but so is another character who, even though isn’t a witcher or mage, nor is he trained in combat, has managed to win over the hearts of viewers with his charm: Jaskier.

The entire fantasy series is inspired more so by the novels and short story collections by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski than the popular video game series they were adapted into. The games themselves served as sequels to the literary adventures of Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri, and the rest of the characters, and as the Netflix series has progressed, it's departed more and more from either source material.

Season 3 has, so far, followed along those lines as Geralt watches over her from imminent threat, and with Yennefer's (Anya Chalotra) help, they guide her to learn to defend herself and use her powers. However, with The Witcher season 3 acting as Cavill's final episodes as Geralt, it is expected that part 2 could have a tragic and game-changing ending.
